Queen’s Brian May: Anti-Vax Rockers Are “Fruitcakes”

Spin Magazine reports:

Brian May considers Eric Clapton one of his “heroes,” but that doesn’t mean he’s okay with anti-vaxxers. During an interview with The Independent, the Queen guitarist labelled anti-vax rock stars “fruitcakes,” including Clapton, Verve’s Richard Ashcroft and Stone Roses’ Ian Brown, who all have said they won’t play shows that require “COVID passports” to gain admission. Last year, Clapton and fellow COVID-denier Van Morrison released an anti-lockdown song called “Stand and Deliver.”

The lengthy Independent interview is here.
